Set in a dramatically converted former office building in Manchester Piccadilly, Malmaison has a bold boutique style with dark, moody interiors. The brasserie and bar are popular with Manchester's creative crowd. Walking distance to Piccadilly Gardens and the Northern Quarter.
Malmaison Manchester is a boutique hotel occupying a converted Victorian building on Piccadilly in central Manchester, England, within a short walk of Manchester Piccadilly station and the lively Northern Quarter neighbourhood. The hotel's design aesthetic is characterised by dark, moody interiors, low lighting, rich jewel tones, and bold graphic artwork — a distinctive departure from conventional hotel design that has given the Malmaison brand a strong creative identity across its UK properties. The Manchester property offers 167 rooms and suites across multiple floors, with categories ranging from compact Shoebox rooms to expansive Penthouse Suites with panoramic city views. All rooms feature Egyptian cotton bedding, bespoke toiletries, and fast WiFi. The Malmaison Brasserie is a lively all-day dining venue serving classic brasserie dishes — burgers, steak frites, seafood platters — alongside an extensive wine and cocktail list. The bar is a popular evening destination with both hotel guests and the creative crowd from the Northern Quarter. The hotel has a compact fitness gym on site. The Northern Quarter, with its independent record shops, vintage clothing stores, cocktail bars, and street food markets, begins immediately to the north. Manchester Piccadilly station — with direct links to London Euston in just over two hours and to Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, and Birmingham — is a five-minute walk. The city's principal shopping districts, including the Arndale Centre and King Street, are within a ten-minute walk, and the Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester Museum are fifteen to twenty minutes away on foot.
